CWM's default action to regain root failed, as did sideloading the update.zip via the stock recovery.
I was a little afraid I might corrupt my encrypted data partition, but so far everything looks good.

Have fun.

Uh, this is basically the same as an un-encrypted Nexus 5?
Flash custom recovery, flash SuperSU in custom recovery?

Also you might want to update your outdated SuperSU as the latest version is v1.99r5.

Somewhat the same.
In the past, CWM was able to automatically regain root for me after OTA-Update. This time that failed. It might be due to some other reason; I cannot really see how encryption might be the cause, but other devices without encryption don't seem to have the problem.

You also have to use sideload, because you cannot mount /data in CWM once it's encrypted.
